Rereading Umineko a good eight years after my first readthrough made it a lot more refreshing, understanding just how much of it was Sayo wanting to be understood, how much was Touya denying the memories in his head, and so on. I remember disliking EP8's ending, or feeling a little unsatisfied without getting a "true Rokkenjima" sort of timeline, but after so long I'm more comforted with that now.
I've always loved Higurashi and love it still, of course. And now having digested Ciconia six months later I find myself deeply pondering the cast and who might have faces yet unseen.
I don't know if I'd say he's my absolute favorite author of all time (Sorry R07 but you are not Alexandre Dumas), but definitely at least my #2 among japanese authors.
